On [[8 June]], [[Between 2010 and 2017|2014]], the [[American National Quidditch team|USA]] defeated [[Liechtenstein National Quidditch team|Liechtenstein]] on the quarter-finals of the [[2014 Quidditch World Cup|427th Quidditch World Cup]]. The Americans profusely celebrated this triumph, given the historical poor performance in international [[Quidditch]] (the game of [[Quodpot]] is the most popular in the US). They sent massive ammounts of red, white and blue sparks to the air, so that a harried [[International Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee|ICWQC]] official commented to the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'': "''Look, we've had to perform mass Memory Charms on about 2000 Muggles living on the edge of the desert after the American celebrations last night, and don't get me started on the planes.''"<ref name="PM">''[[Pottermore]]'' - [http://www.pottermore.com/en/daily-prophet/qwc2014/2014-06-09/return-of-hans-the-augurey New from J.K.

On 8 June, 2014, the USA defeated Liechtenstein on the quarter-finals of the 427th Quidditch World Cup. The Americans profusely celebrated this triumph, given the historical poor performance in international Quidditch (the game of Quodpot is the most popular in the US). They sent massive ammounts of red, white and blue sparks to the air, so that a harried ICWQC official commented to the Daily Prophet: "Look, we've had to perform mass Memory Charms on about 2000 Muggles living on the edge of the desert after the American celebrations last night, and don't get me started on the planes."[5]
